The laser factory is designed to consolidate the company's local laser R&D, manufacturing, assembly, testing and sales. The facility will offer more than 90,000 square feet of usable space.

The multi-million dollar project doubles TRUMPF's current space allocated for laser research and manufacturing of gas and solid-state laser resonators. At the US headquarters, the company maintains an R&D laboratory fully engaged in creating new, advanced lasers and operates the largest American facility for manufacturing of industrial lasers.

"Worldwide, we have long history of providing robust and reliable lasers and laser systems for industrial material processing," said Rolf Biekert, president and CEO of TRUMPF. "The new facility will help us further advance the industrial laser technology used for cutting, welding and marking sheet metal and other materials."

The company expects begin site preparation and building in November 2006 and expects construction to take approximately 12 to 14 months.
